Donaldson Company Inc has a long tradition in being
the technology leader in air filtration and as such, has
developed a new engine air intake filtration
technology designed to meet the stringent demands of
both on-highway vehicles and off-highway equipment.

In short, Donaldson PowerCoreTM is noticeably different in shape, color and style. Its compact, metal-free, cartridge-
style design traps contaminants inside its structure for cleaner and easier servicing. Donaldson PowerCoreTM uses
Donaldsons RadialSeal Sealing Technology which is providing the most advanced and reliable seal possible.
With the use of Donaldsons Ultra-Web Media Technology which is providing media for operating conditions that
require the highest level - the best value in the market to our OEMs is delivered.
Larger, conventional filters require clearance space for proper airflow and have a hollow center to allow the filtered air
to exit to the engine. Donaldson PowerCoreTM eliminates the need for these wasted spaces by combining high-density
filter media packaging with a straight-through flow design. The combination results in significant size and system
restriction reduction which extends filter life and therefore reduces overall maintenance cost.
